Many are up for sale (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lots

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'many' is the first definition.
(lots of something)

'up for sale' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'are' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lots that I've seen before include "Great quantities" , "Loads" , "Units sold at auctions - plenty of them" , "Large numbers at auction" , "a crowd?" .)
